Exercising During Humid Weather Makes Throat,lungs And Bronchial Feel Raw And Hurts

when i exercise in slightly chilly or not very humidified weather my lungs and bronchial ways down my throat feel raw and hurt. my asthma is pretty much under control. and when i have these problems my peak flow is fine. the only thing that makes it better is going into a hot and humid enviroment. ??

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
During the chilly weather the thickness of the atmospheric air will be more and it can easily reaches the respiratory tree and stimulates the respiratory bronchioles muscles to contract and produce the symptoms of bronchospasam.
During chilly season humidity will be more and irritates the throat and the respiratory bronchioles and causes dryness of the throat and also leads to dry cough.
I would suggest you to take care during winter season when you are involved in physical activity.
Thank you.
